Streaming Blu-Ray to PS3

[V6GrandPrixGT98]

I have been experimenting with setting up a media center using a pc and streaming HD content to my PS3. I am using TVersity to share media to the PS3. So far as a test I have downloaded some HD Movie trailers. I got the PS3 to play them but it was very choppy. I am using the wired 100mbps connection. My goal is to store all my Blu-Ray movies on a central PC to be accessed from multiple TV's using PS3's. Has anyone tried doing anything like this over a network connection. Would something like this work using a 1000Mbps connection or would that still not be enough?

I know someone is going to say get off your lazy ass and put the disc in the player but I am doing this more for the fun of setting this up and showing off my geekness to friends.

I would try a GigE before giving up, but it depends on a lot of factors. There is a device called the HD Homerun, which is a similar concept - two HDTV tuners (each can be QAM or ATSC) feeding a 100 Mbps pipe of the raw MPEG2 encoded broadcasts. For QAM channels, the bit rate can be up to like 38 Mbps, which is not too far below the BD transfer spec, so it is probably possible. But it depends on the amount of processing that the PC does as it reads the BD, does any transcoding, packetizes the data for Ethernet transmission, and puts it on the network. Likewise, I don't know how well the PS3 is at handling decoding of the packets that are being sent.
I wish I had better answers...

I am pretty sure the built in PS3 ethernet is 10/100t.. not 1000. And the wireless is G. I wish Sony would have but a Wireless N on the Ps3.. that was kind of a no brainer and is 4-5x faster than standard wired. I hope a wireless N usb adapter in the future is possible. Right now my desktop and laptop both have N and only the PS3 is lacking in high network speeds.

The PS3 does have Gigabit Ethernet.
